Why don't you find a specific topic about Japanese history and learn it? and move to next topic if you've learned enough of it. Second of all, it might be more interesting to learn if you find some sort of connection between of your own country and Japan. I guess the first Spanish man who were interested in Japan was Marco Polo. (am I spelling his name right?) He had never reached Japan, but he was obviously trying to come to our country. It might help you if you start learning about him.

As this poster suggests, pick what you wish to learn!
If starting afresh a good place to start is the bgining
History of Japan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
books are better....but its a place to start.
